Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Laser engraving - Game changer

A while ago I splashed out on a laser engraver. Id had a mechanical one for ages but buying this is a game changer ! The detail and size I can get to is incredible, I can get text at smaller than 0.5 mm !!

Here is a quick run through of a mog plaque I just made and some sample images :-)

So setting up is a matter of making the design and setting the power parameters. These change depending on what you're trying to achieve.

The engraving can take a couple of hours with multiple passes before we get to a decent depth for the paint to sit in. Then its just a matter of cutting out, painting and sanding back. A quick blast with some lacquer seals the job.

Ive done a few jobs for people so far from cutting out watch hands in brass ! and making some plaques for a narrow boat owners engine room.
